Effects of ROS on different bone cells and materials
Bone agents | Regulatory molecules | Activity of ROS | Reference |
---|---|---|---|
Osteoblast | Hydroxyl and superoxide radicals | Inhibition of differentiation and mineralization; induction of necrosis | [11] |
Osteoclast | Superoxide, H2O2 and NADPH oxidase | Enhanced generation of ROS regulates osteoclast differentiation and facilitates resorption of bone tissuesGeneration of resorption pit | [17] |
Osteocytes | NO, H2O2 | Induction of apoptotic cell death | [20, 21] |
Fibrinonectin | Oxygen-free radicals | Partial degradation and modification of ECM molecules; inhibition of bone nodule formation | [19] |
Pro-inflammatory cytokines | IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α | Increases the expression of osteoclast markers | [11] |
IL-1: interleukin-1; ECM: extracellular matrix
